New HDD hard drivers option panel.

Hello All.

I have an idea for new hard drivers option panel, it could be more clear and nicer to look.
So I created a sample screen shot with this idea. Please have look and discus about it.

Whats wrong with the current one ?

Why? It looks messier, can't be easily expanded (when/if new columns are needed), much more difficult to implement (vertical scrolling)

and finally: I still hate GUI programming.

Translated in English: if you can't find C++ module, don't bother recommending the changes.

OK I understand, it was last time

I'm not developer so I have no idea how is difficult to write something again from scratch.

My idea was more like to bring check boxes from inside hard drive options to one level up but seriously is really no matter if this is problem.

Btw. maybe is possible that “do not mount” check box will not change priority when is selected?
Maybe it can switch/make 'disable' “autoboot” check box while (do not mount) is selected and then priority will not changed?

Regards
Thom

No because "do not mount" is just a shortcut for setting priority to -129 ("illegal" boot priority).
